Fast, funny, and completely inspirational, The Story of Usain Bolt is the true biography of the most celebrated sprinter in Olympic history, perfect for young readers aged 8 to 12 who love sport, speed, and stories of unlikely triumph.Usain Bolt was not supposed to be the greatest sprinter who ever lived.
He was tall for a sprinter, a disadvantage, experts said. He had a curved spine. He loved eating chicken nuggets and playing video games. And yet, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he ran 100 metres in 9.69 seconds and he did it while slowing down to celebrate before the finish line. Imagine what he might have clocked at full speed.Over three Olympic Games, Bolt won nine gold medals and set world records in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. He became a global phenomenon who transcended athletics entirely, a man who could fill stadiums not just with fans, but with pure, irresistible joy.This biography for kids captures the Bolt story in full: the early years in Jamaica, the incredible Olympic moments, the injuries that threatened to end it all, and the character that made the whole world love him.Inside you will find: Bolt's childhood in rural Jamaica and his discovery of his gift. The 2008 Olympics moments that made him a legend. His three consecutive Olympic triple-gold performances. The world records that may never be broken. The fun, the personality, and the joy that made Usain Bolt unlike any athlete before him.
